Hush My Darling

Written by Winter Austin

Narrated by Tiffany Morgan

Sometimes, the past starts to bleed into the future . . .

Dark memories haunt Eckardt County Deputy Lila Dayne. Two years ago, she survived a serial killer's attempt to add her to his growing list of victims in Chicagoland, but the fight cost her more than just time lost to surgeries and rehab. Now she's finally beginning to connect with the people in this small section of southeast Iowa, even if she can still sense him watching her.

Sheriff Elizabeth Benoit has her sights on bringing down Eckardt County's corruption when two bodies surface, both bearing striking similarities to the serial killer victims discovered along I-80-and one delivers a personal message for her department. Lila spirals out of control under the pressure, pushing everyone out of her life.

As Elizabeth and her deputies try to bring Lila back into the fold, the killer closes in, marking his next victim. Lila must shake free of her fears and trust those who have supported her-or the killer will finish what he started.
